"More than Words" (by Extreme)

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)

As in the films below, a lawyer might be just a liar. Or for paying his mortgage, a lobbyist speaks for cigarettes even though everybody's criticizing him for harming public health. Yet, for those who believe in the power of words, words become weapons. 여러분, 말조심하세요!

"Liar Liar" (1997)
Since it's a bit old movie, I don't remember why I burst into laughter so many times. Is that what Jim Carrey said or how he acted as usual?

"Thank You for Smoking" (2005)
A brilliant, satirical movie. It's not just about smoking. The film shows how society (incl. industry, lobbyist, media and politician) works, and a simple truth that everybody has to pay one's mortgage (or a rent).

"The Great Debaters" (2007)
With the film directed and cast lead by Denzel Wahington, and based on a true story, your tear dropping is 100% guaranteed.

The movies are about words, argument, negotiation, persuasion, debate and more: family. And I have to admit that I love these kinds of movies!!

"Liar Liar" is one of my favorite movies, not because of the simple story and good message, but because of the last few minutes of behind-the-scene bloopers! Jim Carrey used to be so funny back then...

How about Steve Carell? He's quite funny. Like "the 40 Year Old Virgin" and "Evan Almighty". Am looking forward to watching "Get Smart".
